Jordan Myles responds to WWE statement on Twitter

Posted: Oct 29th 2019 By: Josh Nason

NXT wrestler Jordan Myles continued to air his displeasure at WWE and other wrestling promotions via social media Monday morning, saying among other things that "WWE doesn’t care about black people" in a now deleted tweet.

Myles (real name Albert Hardie Jr.) also called out Ring of Honor for racism and referred to Jay Lethal using a derogatory term in a tweet that was also deleted.

The 31-year-old Myles took umbrage with a t-shirt design Saturday that was compared to blackface imagery, saying that if that was Vince McMahon and Paul Levesque's vision for him, it was a slap in the face to all African-American wrestlers, fans, and supporters, He remained active on Twitter throughout Sunday, prompting supporters to change their profile pictures to black and white in protest among other retweets of support for his position.

WWE released a statement late Sunday night, saying Myles had approved the design but that the design had been pulled, adding they collaborate with their talents on input and approval before moving forward.

After the aforementioned deleted tweets, Myles tweeted that he had approved it, but only saw the design on a white background and that when put against a black background, "you can see the racist intentions". In another tweet seen below, he shared a WWE employee's email address and exchange with him, and said in another tweet that employee, a WWE creative services talent coordinator, claimed Levesque wanted the design even though Myles had issues with it from the start:

Don’t believe me? Email him and ask him yourself.

Myles then went on to call out WWE for being fraudulent and creating a system where you can't trust anyone, specifically calling out Hulk Hogan's locker room apology for being caught on video using racist terms:

"THE WHOLE WWE SYSTEM IS FRAUD!
THEY CREATED THIS SYSTEM WHERE YOU CANT TRUST ANYONE, YOU GROW COLD, AND YOU GROW APART FROM WHAT YOU LOVE THE MOST!

The fact that @HulkHogan is still employed after giving the locker room an apology for being caught says enough.#ForTheCulture"
